A line of scattered thunderstorms is likely to pass through the region between 11:30 p.m. and 2 a.m. overnight. These storms are associated with a weak front approaching the area. The storms may produce some gusty winds, brief downpours, thunder and lightning. As this line of storms is broken, not everyone will be impacted. On the plus side, we'll take any rain we can get and slightly less humid air arrives behind the front for Sunday. Refer to our full forecast for the outlook into early next week.

There's some humidity and an approaching weak front - so not shocking to see some storms. Probably should've included a small chance in forecast earlier. However, models didn't simulate much happening and/or had any storms dissipating before they got here. These storms are weakening, but may hold together enough to give parts of our region a little action.
